You send Grafixx the artwork, which is tweaked and sent to a high speed digital printer.
The heat transfer graphic is printed onto a roll of polyester film, which is coated with glue formulated to adhere to the product substrate. In this case, we are talking about decorating plastics. The film is cut to size and sent to the manufacturer who then transfers the image onto the final product, whatever it may be, using heat and pressure. Parts are dry and ready to be shipped immediately after application.
